Come Catch a Trout at the Chapman Creek Hatchery

It’s that fun time of year again where the sounds of kids squealing with delight as they catch trout for their dinner rings out through the forest and stream at our Wilson Creek hatchery. The Sunshine Coast Salmon Enhancement Society will host its 20th annual Catch a Trout day at Chapman Creek Hatchery on Saturday, July 4, for kids of all ages.

The annual event, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., is a summer favorite of families on the Sunshine Coast featuring fishing for rainbow trout for the youngsters, with assistance from hatchery volunteers. When they’re not catching a fish, kids can get their faces painted, enjoy a hot dog and a drink all for the single entry fee of $10.00

There will also be a drop-off bin on site for those wishing to donate non-perishable food items to the Food Bank. Don’t forget your camera!
